Finishing up with yet another superb display of his fingerpicking ability, “Hide in the Roses” is a fitting ending to an album that took me, first hand, through a parabola of emotions that the talented Illinois artist so masterfully created. Walker focuses his lyrics on the hardships of life including the feeling of loneliness in his travels and pain of losing someone he is still deeply in love with.Īlthough still airy in nature, the melodies take on a darker tone in “The High Road,” and “All Kinds of You.” Walker completes the album leaving me in a state of impressed, yet mixed emotions. The last three tracks of this album continue in a more sullen direction. Walker returns to his roots with my personal favorite “Sweet Satisfaction.” Love-lost, passionate lyrics like “I’d rather be dead babe then see you cry,” combined with intricate fingerpicking make this beautiful song a must-listen. Although the lyrics are sparse and simple, this nostalgic track makes me feel like I am basking on the banks of the majestic Old Kishwaukee. This song serves as an ode to the baptisms he witnessed while walking the banks of the river.
Walker’s next piece, “ On the Banks of the Old Kishwaukee,” introduces the shot of Americana that slightly deviates from the artist’s specialty.
This song is essentially an impressive jazzy jam session between the two musicians, almost feeling cathartic in nature, with Walker providing a background fingerpicking outlay. Walker follows with another instrumental called “Love Can be Cruel” that highlights the talent of both his drummer, Frank Rosaly, and pianist, Ben Boye. The first being the fast-paced folk piece called “Griffiths Bucks Blues.” Named after a local artist and botanist in Walker’s hometown of Rockford, Illinois, this upbeat mix of acoustic fingerpicking and lively fiddle makes me want to join hands with a group of close friends in a circle and dance the night away. After establishing his jazzy ability, Walker creatively introduces a duo of instrumentals.
